The Paper And The Ink

from Songs I Swore I'd Never Sing by Benjamin Tod

/

lyrics

Your arrow ain’t sharp but age made deadly your aim
If I kill or get killed my dear would you love me the same
As I get older I realize that time has a way
And the patience you build in your youth will discern how you age

Chorus:
Some song I swore I’d never sing
from years before I held a dream
My pages worn like oaths I keep
I’ll die between the paper and the ink

This journal ain’t mine but it’s filled with my misery
Passed down by a friend who was taken too soon to complete
Bound in the blood of living like we were deceased
Now I live with the debt that it easily could have been me

Chorus

So lay your head easy and don’t shed tears for me
We are given this life but nobody said it was free

Chorus
